Best External HDD
By Bluewill
This is the third ministation that I have bought, one each for 2 of my daughters which they use all the time so decided to get one for myself. It holds all my music, lots of films and TV series. As usual the only complaint is the cable is a bit short and it is not a normal mini usb connection at the HDD end as it's usb3.

buffalo hard drive
By Daniel Thorpe
excellent product, fast delivery, really quick at transferring files,reasonably priced at £60 at the time I bought it, doesn't need a USB 3.0 port on your machine works well on a 2.0 port just transfer rate is slower. has a RAM-Disk section for back up of data.

Super fast and very sleek looking.
By Sleepless in Stonehenge
I have two computers at home, one upstairs gathering dust which I've had a ton of music on along with some programs I like which you can't get any more. I'm de-cluttering my house so a removable hard-drive was my eventual decision in order to be able to get rid of the machine upstairs.Chose Amazon because of their super fast ordering process and delivery, as always, faultless.I must be old was I was expecting something bigger and 'clunkier' - as it is this super little thing is only slightly bigger than my HTC mobile. I couldn't get over the fact that this little thing was 500gb and my desktop at home is half that!When it's connected for the first time the installation thing wants to install Google Chrome and Google Picassa - and I couldn't see any way to say "NO" to this. I already have Google Chrome having been a religious user since it was launched in 2008 - so over-installed it did, and wiped out my profile (saved passwords and all that) and settings, what was worse was that it installed an older version (whatever version Chrome was when this thing was packaged) - all that said it wasn't too much of a hardship and shouldn't really affect anyone's choice to buy this. I just like the CHOICE when it comes to extras.Transferring my music files over my wireless network from computer upstairs to this little thing downstairs was super-super fast, so fast in fact that I had to do a double-check. So no problems there AT ALL. Even on USB 2.0 over not-great wireless it's blinding.The biggest thing I DON'T like about this is the sidebar it installs on your desktop. I really REALLY hate it, I don't like "things" and "widgets" on my desktop and again I didn't see a choice (chose those words carefully as I can't remember seeing one :). A systray icon would be better, in fact this is what I expected. ** But ah, while writing this I've right clicked on the sidebar 'arrow' and there's an exit option, so an extra star!Brilliant features: small, nice looking, not much bigger or heavier than a smart-phone, amazingly fast.Flops on: No options to choose the extra software, an incredible annoying pop-out sidebar on your desktop. Which overlays the top of an internet page scroll button. Really bad. Don't like. however there's an exit option, phew.I haven't yet used any of the other facilities on the disk, being a complete newb to these things but I'm guessing it'll work just like a 'C' drive - in which case it will be great I'm sure.I can't fault this so far and since I found the 'exit' option on the sidebar, I've given it an extra star. Would be 5 if there was a choice on whether to install the extras.Would enthusiastically recommend this.
